  • In July 2016, Epiphany Pacific Trust had the privilege and honour of hosting the former Samoan Head of State, Le Afioga Tui Atua Tupua Tamasese Taisi Efi ma lana Masiofo, alongside our NZ based Dignitaries at two events here in Auckland.
    Aganu’u Fa’asamoa 101 (AF101) Alumni student’s from across Auckland (as well as a few who travelled in from Australia) participated in these auspicious events, which included the rarely performed “Ava Fa'atupu” ceremony, as well as a “heart to heart” conversation and Q&A.
    Salamo 133:1 Faauta e ma'eu le lelei pe a nonofo faatasi o uso i le autasi. [Psalms 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!]
    Thank you to all those who contributed their time, talents and resources towards this occasion; a special mention to Lawrence Mauga-Reid and his team from Essential Personnel Service Melbourne for enabling the livestreaming worldwide of this occassion via JX Live.
    Thank you once again i lau Afioga Tui Atua Tupua TamaseseTaisi Efi for your many years of service as a leader and Father-figure to us all. The full HD footage of both events and resources coming soon.

    Coming from a Samoan raised not understanding the words of my people. I feel privileged to hear the words of Tamasese and his wife speak English and share their knowledge with me.

    Samoa has three Royal line's
    Sa Tagaloa and the Moa family
    1) Tui Manu'a(Head)
    2) Tui Atua(High Chief)
    3) Tui A'ana(Great Warrior)
    4) Tui fiti(King of Fiji)
    5 Tui Tonga(king of Tonga)
    Samoa Tonga and Fiji has this connection between royal family, we were known as Ancient Warriors, I hope we keep our aganu'u alive Samoa holds all the titles of great kings, the Tui kanokupolu royal family of Tonga comes from upolu Samoa, the Tui Kanokupolu royal line's means HEART AND FLASH OF UPOLU there was connection also to the king of Fiji, God bless our pasifika.

      TAGALOA'S ROYAL LINE'S HEART of POLYNESIA who are gatoaitele and vaitamasuaelie

    • @tagaloasroyallinesheartofp3478
      @tagaloasroyallinesheartofp3478 5 лет назад

      Owl Qeu both these titles are born from victories against the Tui Titles, the Tui Titles were considered in ancient times as Gods title due to there connection to the first clan, the TAGALOA CLAN from the Manu'a group, remember how the Malietoa was created by the last words of the Tu'i Tonga king, that's how Gatoaitele and Vaitamasualie was created against there victories to Tui Atua and Tui A'ana.

      Who is the sa Tagaloa and moa clan

    • @tagaloasroyallinesheartofp3478
      @tagaloasroyallinesheartofp3478 5 лет назад +5

      Owl Qeu the Sa Tagaloa clan were the first navigators to settle Samoa in the islands of Manu'a, these people were labita people, Polynesian people which is us, Samoa means Sacred Center because it is the home of Tagaloa and during the occupation of the Tu'i Tonga in Samoa the islands of Manu'a was considered sacred by the Tu'i Tonga kings because it was the home of Tagaloa, Tagaloa family is us SAMOANS also Tonga or TongaTapu means sacred south because they're also the family of Tagaloa, we are all one.

    Talofa lava. Great words an speech king. Proud of this video. This is exactly how I felt all my life. Alofa A’u Ia oe. Modernization has exploited us. We need to get back to the words of our elders an live by it. The modern world has destroyed almost everything it touches. It even destroyed the palagi world. Get back to living self sustainable like we were Selau years ago. Where everything was perfect an simple with no government telling us what to do. Slaving for them an paying taxes. I rather gather food an work for myself. Tofa soifua Manu ia le aso

    Tupua is a very educated man i think he wrote his own book in english. I could only dream of speaking both fluent Samoan and english.

    Listen clearly to how Tui Atua Tupua Tamasese pronounces the letter 'T' when speaking Samoan. It sounds similar to a 'd', like how Tongans pronounce the letter 't'. It's noticeable among many of our elderly Samoans, probably a nod to how the ancient Samoans spoke before the arrival of the Palalagi.

      Breaktronix I agree totally. We as a people need to get back to roots an culture. Modernization has stole from us our culture I believe. Modernization has made most of lazy an complacent. Le afioga tui tupua tamasese says it all of what the truth is in his speech an was very uplifting. I miss the old folks an old ways. Alofa lava. Tofa soifua.

    • @SolosoloAfaluko
      @SolosoloAfaluko 4 года назад +3

      @@neruamituanai1398 You completely missed the point altogether. Of course the letter 'D/d' is not featured in the Samoan alphabet, that is makua obvious to any Hamo. Breaktronix is simply making the point that when the elderly people/old tulafale speak formal Samoan (i.e. using the 'T/t' and 'N/n' instead of the colloquial 'K/k' and G/g sounds) their 'T/t' pronunciation sounds like a 'd/D'. That's a fact - try listening closely.
      Tongans don't have the letter 'D/d' in their alphabet but when they pronounce any word featuring the letter 'T/t' it 100% is spoken like a 'D/d' sound.
